In this difficult time I found myself short at the end of the month and not always being able to put healthy meals on the table due to rising costs of everything, rent, gas, groceries ect. So I figured why not get the products I love at a discount and boom I rejoined Epicure. If you know me you will know that I was an Independent Epicure rep back in 2010 I think it was. Life got in the way and I let it go. I also stopped cooking healthy meals at home and started eating out alot more. Well needless to say that wasn't the healthiest decision and my health suffered. Diabetes meds, blood pressure meds and packed on the weight. I have always struggled with weight issues, been a WW member for many many years and a repeat offender. In 2021 during a world wide Pandemic my health was the worst it had been. I was on Metformin, and the doctor was increasing my dosage, 2 blood pressure pills and a water pill and I was a whopping 351.8 pounds. I ended up in Emergency one night not able to breathe and that is when a doctor said to me "you don't change your habits and lifestyle and you are going to end up in a box by the end of this year". Wow... So that led me back to healthy eating. Epicure products are gluten free and sodium and sugar conscious and I had a cupboard full of products. It is an easy, time savings, healthy way to eat and with working full time and being single I needed easy and time savings.
And here we are today a year later and I have lost over 100 pounds (not just by eating Epicure products, I also started IF but that is a whole other story) I have not taken any Metformin in one year and happy to report my Blood glucose is in the normal range. I have dropped to one blood pressure pill and no water pill and I feel amazing. I still have a ways to go but I am a work in progress.
So that is me and how I came back to Epicure in a nut shell, well not really a nut shell lol. I hope you will stick with me an follow my blog, I hope it will help you in some way to cook healthy, time savings meals and I hope you will help me share. thanks for being a part of my journey💓💓
